Fair use and media literacy

Check out the powerful new professional materials posted by the Center for Social Media at American University. The Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for Media Literacy Education is available for download in .pdf format, and there is a six minute video introduction to understanding fair use in today’s media-rich environment that may clarify misconceptions and reassure teachers about their rights (and their students’ rights) to employ all sorts of media in classroom teaching and learning.
